Am I reading this wrong? Or is this guy really trying to say the very predictable rise in exploit users on the platform after they stopped patching the exploits is proof that the platform is full of cheaters?
Yes. It sounds like they removed anti cheat from linux for a spell and watched an uptick in cheater switching platforms. So they weren't willing to support the anticheat, removed it from the game and watched cheaters flock to the platform. I don't think they are saying linux users are cheaters, just that cheater will use linux if vulnerable.
